I'll move NDP-3, that Bill C-38, in clause 52, be amended by replacing lines 17 and 18 on page 31 with the following:
environmental assessment of a designated project that is conducted by a review panel and that includes a consideration of the following factors:
(a) the purpose of the project;
(b) alternative means of carrying out the project that are technically and economically feasible and the environmental effects of any such alternative means;
(c) the need for, and the requirements of, any follow-up program in respect of the project;
(d) the capacity of renewable resources that are likely to be significantly affected by the project to meet the needs of the present and those of the future;
(e) the environmental effects of the project, including the environmental effects of malfunctions or accidents that may occur in connection with the project and any cumulative environmental effects that are likely to result from the project in combination with other projects or activities that have been or will be carried out;
(f) the significance of the effects referred to in paragraph (e);
(g) comments from the public that are received in accordance with this Act and the regulations;
(h) measures that are technically and economically feasible and that would mitigate any significant adverse environmental effects of the project; and
(i) any other matter relevant to the assessment by a review panel, such as the need for the project and alternatives to the project, that the responsible authority may require to be considered.
(Amendment negatived)
